Would you be in an online longdistance relationship but you know for a fact that you and your partner wouldnt be able to meet face to face in real life...So would you continue with such a relationship?? The only hope to maybe meet in real life is possibilities no practicallities...Would you continue??

Hiya Lola, I can answer this. I held one with an Indian guy for nearly 3 years...never meeting the guy. It's not that I don't believe long distance internet relationships won't work. But, trust was a strong deciding factor. There was a breakdown in trust between me and him and no one made any real efforts to meet. It was just dragging out as far as it would go. Until, I called it off. It wasn't a real life thing so it took it's toll. I wanted something realer. People in these relationships both have to trust and agree to the situation, make up their minds and just go for it. Otherwise, if there is an ounce of skepticism, stick to finding someone local.

@JustMeAndYou77: so true

I would like to know the answer to the question too. I really care for someone but realisticly i know chances of us being together r slim to none. So do i jus be friends and continue looking?

hi briteeyes!:)) Well girl...from what I experienced, I would give it a try but not for 3 years like I did lol The thing is it wont hurt to try and find out if it's something you both want. It's internet dating. If both of you are in the US, both of you need to try making trips back and forth to meet and date. This will let you know you both agree to having something together. It will pull you closer together also because it is real and you'll get a chance to experience that. I wouldnt recommend going the cheaper easier route and simply moving together to begin with.

Hiya Justme.... In most longdistance relationships A lack of funds prevents the loving couple to meet in real life. Another point Im thinking why would longdistance couples would want to spend all his/her life savings etc just to want to fly halfway around the world to be with his/her lover?? So in my opinion i wouldnt want to waste my precious time in such a relationship.I call longdistance relationships "Happiness of Illusion" Also longdistance can be stressful So the best is to go local.JMO

ive tried it n rly began 2 care 4 him but fact of the matter is u never kno what some1s rly up2...i was ready 2 drop everything n go there 2 b w him was just squaring away some family matters n saving up the $ but then it turned out he had a wife...did not see that coming...it hurt n rly ****** me off but lesson learned...im still willing 2 try w some1 new n honestly meeting some1 online thats long distance is the best way 4 me 2 get 2 kno some1 w/out things moving 2 fast...always gotta get back on that horse

I had one also it didnt last very long but we did somewhat love eachother I guess she was an alcoholic and always was putting herself down I got really mad eventually one day and she stopped talking to me I would definetely try again though and next time I hope to actually meet her in person and I will definetely eventually try to do so

I definitely agree with you. No doubt about that. There are people with the financial means though and to some who take their meetings seriously, it could become an investment towards the relationship theyve been looking for. I wouldnt suggest anyone stay kooped up locally. This world is much bigger and depending on what you're looking for, the guys around in your area might give you the same results. There just has to be trust and skepticism turned into reassurance for it to work.

I see...wow. Be careful girl. This was happening way too fast. I mean the preparing to move together part. If you are pursuing a long-distance relationship, you've got to be willing to take some time, put forth some planning, put some money in (hotel stay, etc.), and be prepared to return home. If it went well maybe decide swapping visits with him (he make arrangements to come see you). Do it for maybe a year. It costs way more to rush when it may not work out anyway.
